Discussion:
Tom explained that this is not a recommendation to the City Council, it is more of a general discussion of the process. The planning commission voted to recommend this to the City Council. Anna explained there will be a two-step process as there are two things that will need to be changed. First is zoning, as it impacts lot size, set back rules and regulations. Anna discussed that some of the things the members of the council should listen to when requesting a zoning change from R2 to R3 is whether there is a boundary line or are we creating a spot zone. Also, if the zoning change is in accordance with the comprehensive development plan. The developer will discuss more on this to the City Council during the Council Meeting.
